Is Canada closed?

Never fear – postal strikes won’t stop us getting your parcels there!

As a result of ongoing strikes and the resulting negotiations between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), Royal Mail announced on 15 November that it has suspended its shipments to Canada until further notice. But fear not, we at Mail Boxes Etc. can offer alternatives for your urgent post and packages!

The strikes, which have been going on for several weeks, have resulted in a major backlog of parcels and packages waiting to be delivered. Canada Post is aware of the huge impact this is having, especially with Christmas approaching, and they are continuing to attempt to reach a settlement with the CUPW.
